CRCHD Professional Advancement Virtual Engagement Series (PAVES)
Professional Advancement Virtual Engagement Seminar (PAVES) was developed by the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities to provide meaningful career development and resources to support diverse biomedical and social scientists to achieve research independence.
On the last Wednesday of each month from 3:00-4:00 pm Eastern (times and dates may vary depending on presenter availability), post-doctoral student scientists, clinician scientists, researchers, and others join to explore NIH funding opportunities, identify new resources to advance their scientific career, and acquire new insights and skills in the research grant proposal development process.
Please email EIAP@nih.gov to join PAVES and/or to submit your recommendations for future topics.
